V'>There is ample room for a well-organised ;new. line between. Auckland and.London, Liverpool and Glasgow; with! New York, and with some of i the larger centres of Continental European trades. Of course, the large and increasing exjport of balk and sawn timber will form an important adjunct. A trade with ~ Tasmania^ Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, 4c.,, being alreaoy established, could easily bo con-\-r turned with regularity,. whilst the 'New"s castle and Ghviymouth coal trades should be also proyided for. 4 s,! L '• There ha vast field in prospective for a good tradej with A < erica, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, The Capo, Noumea, and nnmerou* foreign pone, with some of which. even at the moment, a profitable „. direct trade ia being jparried ou in a desultory ,-^ manner, %nd i; which would find support from the now indusfrips latoly established here and in pr^sprctiTe establishments. The Company do nob propose to limit themselves/,to ;runmßg[ their own vessels, but *„ will fronftime to* time' charter vessels when required, in the event of their own not being immediately available. Messrs Stone 8r05.,-]wbo have for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who hare now fairly started a new London line, DOtseßS the nucleus of a fleet suitable for commencing operations, and arrangements have been made to take over their vessels and the goodwill of their shipping business for the sum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£30,650), they taking half the amount in Company's shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnuge of 2642 tons, should be augmented as soon as possible, so that the business"'may be extended without ;' 'delay,"especially the London and American 'branches; '''"'' " : Theserviosof MrC.B.Stone, asina aging •^director^apa'the staff at present under his : r Control) who" are- experienced in-this line of *' 'basinets,' have been secured to take office under the new Company It is further proposed that Ihe working expenses should be conducted oii strictly : econoaf * ical liyriticipl*s, the expense of agencies and branches to be'defrayed out of commissions on the actual freights earned by those branches. ■ The proposed capital is ret down at £150, 000, but as only a small portion is required at present for the purchase of the existing fleet ; ;and contingent expenses, further capital will not be called upjrotl Tfssels suitable for th.c London and other trades may offer for sale at >easopable prices, until which time it ie pro poetato charter vessels at required to supple-' It is proposed to inviteall Auckland busi-nets-men and all who may have any interest in the trade' of our port to take Shares in thie local Company, .and to give the undertaking ever> possible tot»port."
